The thrill of underdressing!?

[docrobbysherry]

Just read another post here about underdressing. Where the writer was so worried about "someone noticing"!

Ok, I know some of u have SO's and u have been told not to, or have agreed not to, dress openly. But, that's a completely different topic!

Some of u get a kick out of underdressing and I wondered what it is for u?
The possibility of getting caught? You're big secret no one knows about? The feel of lady's things under your drabs?

I tried it when I was just experimenting with dressing. Wore a bra, girdle, undies, and occasionally pantyhose under my guy things. After a week the secret thrill wore off and I gave it up. Those darn lady's things were very uncomfortable compared to my loose, comfy guy clothes!

So, for those of u that enjoy underdressing and do it by choice, not because it's the only way u can dress and go out, why do u do it?

I do it because I just like the feeling that I'm wearing female clothes 24/7. Wearing panties and pantyhose under my pants still feels so feminine, regardless that I'm wearing them for years now. I just like female clothes more than male clothes, I guess.
I can't (don't dare) wearing outer female clothes 24/7, otherwise I would wear them all the time too.

I love it because it is just me. In the winter when it is easier I even wear bigger forms ... hard to see under a jacket. LOL

I do wear gg jeans all the time ... (sorry Karen) Not sure if anyone notices. I Always tuck.

I wear panties 24/7 and for me it is the connection to my feminine side, for some of us it is the small things that count.

I don't know if its a thrill exactly, but I have noticed that even my guy jeans and pants fit better when I am wearing my hip shaper girdle. They are not constantly sliding down, even when wearing a belt. It is a bit of a kick to wear these out and about, like you are getting away with something so many find taboo, but that's a psychological thing.

I wear panties almost everyday also. It was my gateway to crossdressing. It was a thrill at first. Now, it is just feels normal. Like many other?s here, it is my connection with my female side. And I usually don?t need anything else. I am surprised and thrilled actually that so many feel the same way! I have found that wearing panties everyday keeps me calmer, more centered. I really enjoy the times that I wear more than just panties, but for me, that is icing on the cake!

Same. It's not about thrill for me, it's about being as feminine as possible as often as possible without breaking social norms too much. If I wasn't as socially anxious as I am, I think I'd have been wearing women's clothes in public for years, maybe even decades. Still wish I had opened up to my parents when I was a child/young teen rather than hide, maybe transition would've been in the cards back then. Now it's too late, testosterone ruined my body too much.

Though panties are often more comfortable than male underwear, anyway. Not always, some fits poorly and thongs get quite uncomfortable after a while (which is why I very rarely wear a thong), but usually.

Well Doc, for me it's a bit of a "relief valve."
I consider myself to be somewhere left of center on the Trans scale, but I'm limited in my freedom to express my "true" self. Underdressing helps relieve some of the dysphoric pressure.

I underdress every day, but only in panties. There is no "thrill" or "excitement" involved. They're just my undies.
Boy undies are boring and fit funny. I don't know what it is, but they feel "weird."
I don't have enough up top to need a bra. Pads, shapewear, etc. aren't my thing. I'm not trying to look the part so much as I am just wearing what feels "right" to me.
If my wife were OK with me doing a little more - such as ladies slacks or tops, I would. She's not, so I don't. To the outside world these days, I'm just another dude.

I guess my view of underdressing is somewhat different. I outwardly dress in a feminine manner. Wear leggings to the gym, at home, and at work. On my forays during the day my preference is denim leggings/leggings, whatever the nomenclature is. I find that is the best way to project my femininity.

[Tiffany355]

For me it?s super sexy, comfy and feminine. The trill of being caught is exciting but I also make sure it won?t happen. At least I think that. Yesterday I got brave and sent my wife a picture of my normal guy undies as well as some lace panties. Labeled them a and b. Said pick one. She picked the panties and said this is exciting! Felt great all day about it.

I have underdressed in nylon panties for most of my adult life, with the full support of my wife. Panties is the only underdressing that I have ever done. I have always been careful not to be discovered.

It has evolved from a way to calm my dysphoria in my earliest younger years, to a mild erotic excitement as I remember that I had girl's panties on under my suit, to just having a preference for panties for everyday wear.

I keep my collection of male underwear for special occasions, like a doctors visit, X-rays, MRIs, etc.

Wearing panties every day is just one of the little pleasures of cross dressing that I totally enjoy with the full support of my bride. We even enjoy having matching panties.

I pretty much feel like I completely understand where you're coming from. I started out wearing panties at a very early age and with some periods of reverting back to men's underwear only, I would always come back to wearing women's panties. Always. I went through a period of about 10 years where I would dress in everything feminine. Panties, bras, garter belts, nighties, but that was when I was single, living completely alone. I am now in a very committed marriage for the past 20 years. After a long period of sneaking and hiding, I finally got the chance to come out in the open. The choice of men's underwear is absolutely horrible. I explained this to my wife and told her that women's panties are very much more comfortable and that women's panties are not that distinguishable from some of the men's underwear that I had brought in the past. There was a time when you could walk into a certain "big box" retail store and buy men's thongs and bikinis, but not anymore. I buy the more conservative panties - cotton with solid colors. I was pleased to find out that my wife enjoys my wearing women's thongs. So things are working out well for me and I hope for you as well.

I have worn panties on a regular basis for many years and I enjoy underdressing in other things - bra, cami, forms - in the cooler weather. Now that it is summer I have shifted to panties, shorts and a tee or a Sportkilt instead of shorts if I'm going to be around the house. Honestly, my wife and I are often dressed much the same during the summer.

I only wear panties when I underdress, I just love the way they feel and look. So many more colors and style's then mens underwear. It always bring a smile to me face when I chance for bed at the end of the day.

[Karren H]

I do not underdress any more. The thrill is gone. The thrill is gone for dressing in general. But I still do it almost every day. I have move on to other avenues to get my thrills these days. Still involves crossdressing just a bit kinkier. Guess if that wears off I will have to become a crossdressing astronaut, a secret agent or something. Lol.

[NancyJ]

doc, You have been rather open that you are a fetishist, true? For me, the thrill of wearing panties disappeared many years ago. I underdress in my panties every day to calm my gender dysphoria. I suspect that is true for most of us who have been doing it for years. I do not get aroused by dressing. Panties provide no sexual thrill. Instead, I feel relaxed, assured, calmed. Nancy

I wear panties 24/7. I still have a couple pairs of men's drab underwear in the back of my bottom drawer, but they have not been out in years. I feel relaxed and comfortable being in touch with my soft/feminine side. During the colder months my wardrobe is a little more extensive. This includes leotards/bodysuits, tights and an occasional bra. In the beginning there was the "thrill", but now it is all about comfort with my clothing choice and myself.

[Vickie_CDTV]

Some I know have told me if you wear a girdle (or corset) everyday long enough, you can overcome any discomfort and become "addicted" to it, and really miss it when it isn't there. I don't wear one everyday, but if it fits well, and is broken in, I can totally see one eventually falling in love with them and wanting to wear one all of the time.

[Debbie Denier]

Its a stress reliever for me. I underdress in panties and tights/pantyhose. Like many others it gives me a sense of calm and relieves the gender dysphoria. The thrill went years ago.

[Kelli_cd]

My fascination with really started at puberty; it was driven by hormones. Later, when I started wearing panties, it was about breaking the rules and experience the "taboo". I've always loved the look of matching panties and bras. In my mind, that was a natural next step.
I also enjoy walking the halls at work knowing that my underwear is probably than what most of the women are wearing.
It could also be related to having no intimacy in my marriage for the last 17 years.
I just know I like it. I'm a happier person. My general demeanor is more kind and gentle than when I ignored my desire to wear bras and panties.

Thanks for posting because I never understood it.
For Sherlyn she was herself no matter what just like I am just me no matter what piece of cloth I have on.
Not saying anything is wrong with it ….do not get it twisted
I just never understood it.
So look forward to reading the answers.

I love to underdress! I pretty much always have a bra and panties on. It feels so right for me. In the winter I'll put my forms in too. I like to think about what I'm wearing when talking to someone that has no clue what I'm wearing.

[CynthiaD]

I underdress 24/7, not for the thrill, but out of practical necessity. I have no male underwear. It’s panties or nothing. I have no male socks. It’s pantyhose, or stockings and a garter belt or nothing. I have some footies for exercise, but I don’t wear them with male clothing. I sometimes wear a sports bra under my male shirt because it feels normal to do so.

I got rid of my male underwear and socks, because they were ugly and I couldn’t imagine myself wearing anything like that anymore.

I dress completely every day, for at least part of the day. I don’t do it for the thrill. I do it to feel normal. This probably doesn’t answer your question very well, but that’s how it is for me.

[GretchenM]

For me, dressing is not a matter of it being a thrill or anything even close to that. It is a matter of connecting more fully with that part of my identity, the female-like side of my total identity. Wearing a T-shirt that has bold and bright feminine colors does the same thing. It allows a connection between my inner self and the outside world. I sometimes wear a tree-of-life pendant necklace that has the fine silver chain, but with the pendant inside my shirt. People notice. Some frown, some smile, a few are curious. But I really don't care what they think. It is there for me and not impress anybody else or even give them a message about me. It has meaning.

I don't worry about anybody seeing anymore than most women fret about maybe showing the elastic of the panty band when they bend over. It happens. It is part of life. I am not me for the benefit of others.

I am not sure how to explain it, but I would not call it a thrill. It is just who I am, how I am most comfortable, and how I dress every day. It is no different than putting on/wearing a pair of pants.

That said, I like selecting an outfit in the morning and picking what bra to wear with it. But it is not really any different than picking what top to wear with what pants or what shoes I wear.
